Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,620, dated October 24, 1&65.

To all whom it may concer Be it known that we, JOHN A. PARIsE and C. XV. MACCORD, ot' the city of New York, in

the county ot' New York and State Ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vessels torGont-aining Molass'es, Viscid Oils, 85o.; and we do hereby declare that .the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being vhad to the accompanying drawings, making a part Ofthe same, in which- Figure l is a vertical section through the center of a molasses-jug, showing it in an upright position. Fig. 2 is a similar section ot" the same, showingitin position for pouring outI the contents.

Like. letters ot' reference will denote the same. parts in both figures.

The object ot' this invention is to save orf catch the drippings which always occur in pouring freni vessels of Ordinary construotionf for containing molasses or other viscid liquids,

and to conduct them back to the interior of -any suitable form,with a contracted neck, e,

and a funnel-shaped mout-inf. above, and may be titted with a hinged cover, t'. Into the neck there is inserted centrally and tightly a pouring-spout, l), ot' the same or similar material,

which is upright when it stands on its hottom, and which may be made ot' a separate piece from`the vessel and tted in such manner as to be capable of easy removal for iilliicig the vessel or cleaning it. The lip of this spout isconsidei-ably higher than the mouth ofthe vessel, so that the liquid may be poured overthe edge of the mouth, as shown in Fig.. 2, when the vessel is held in a slantnig' posiil lll ii tion. lathe back ot' the said spout,just above the neck e, there is anopening, d. The upper edge ot the. funnel-shaped mouth as an internally-projecting iiange, g, all around it.

The operation is as follows: In pouring, the liquid ows out through the spout b, as shown in Fig. 2, and when the vessel has been Set down again on its bottom Vany ofthe liquid whicliuiay have run over the lip ofthe spout will run down the exterior ot' thelatte-r and be collected in thelower part of the funnel-shaped mouth, or, as it may be termed, the overiiowreceiver, whence it runs back through the spring d and lower part ofthe neck to the interior of the vessel a.

Itwill be understood from the foregoing description that no liquid can drop or run down from the spout onto'the exterior of the f vessel.

In case of the pouring and subsequent setting down of the vessel on its bottombeing so frequently and rapidly repeated vthat the liquid ,cannot run bacl'rthro'u gli the opening d as tast as it is collected in the overflow-receiver f, any liquid that remainsin the overflow-receiver will be prevented from Overiiowing the said receiver or mouth ot' the vessel by means ot' the internally-projecting flange g, which thus constitutes an important feature of the invention.

Vhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by LettersPa-tent, is-

l. The central pouring-spoon@ fitted into the neck ot' the vessel, surrounded by a funnelshaped or enlarged mouth or overtlow-receiverj', and having an opening, d, for the return ot' the overtlow to the vessel-{substantially as andpfor the purpose herein set forth.

2. The internal flange, g, around the mouth or overiiow-reoeiverf, in combination with the central pouring-spout, Z), substantially as aud for the purpose herein specified.
